Lakertyans' Ritual Hat

A wide-brimmed ceremonial hat worn by Ikona during her intervention on Lakertya. Its dark fabric contrasts with the dusty terrain as she warns The Doctor away from the Tetrap ambush. The hat's shadow falls across her face as she raises her arm, framing her urgent gesture. The Doctor notices it only peripherally—the hat serves as part of her tribal alert system more than decorative attire.
